Artists of the national tradition start from the puppet show

Chapter 128 The Beautiful Concubine Yu (please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket)

Yu Zhikui's words caused all the judges to nod in agreement.

Peking Opera has a history of about 200 years since its development in the late Qing Dynasty.

Until the Republic of China, Peking Opera reached its heyday.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Peking Opera suffered a huge impact in a special period.

After Peking Opera returns to its normal performance order, not only the Peking Opera actors have broken generations, but the most important thing is that the audience no longer has such deep affection for Peking Opera!
Coupled with the emergence of a large number of entertainment forms, Peking Opera gradually began to decline!

Although there are still some intrigues in the entire Peking Opera circle, most Peking Opera actors are still looking forward to the emergence of a symbolic figure like Mr. Mei Lanfang in the Peking Opera circle, who will rejuvenate the Peking Opera industry!
Although Yu Zhikui can be regarded as the leader of the veteran industry, he still has insurmountable shortcomings compared with those seniors back then.

Besides, he is now too old, and it is even more impossible to promote the vigorous development of Peking Opera, so he accepted Lin Mu.

Because in Lin Mu, Yu Zhikui saw a ray of hope to promote the development of Peking Opera!

It has to be said that every time Yu Zhikui sees Lin Mu, he feels as if he has passed away.

This kid's progress is really amazing!
Yu Zhikui felt that such a short passage of "The Story of the Black Pot" could be used as a teaching material in the Academy of Chinese Opera!
Hearing the great praise of Lin Mu from all the judges, Yu Zhikui looked very relieved, which made Tan Xiaozeng beside him look envious and jealous!
"Okay, go down and wait!"

Yu Zhikui waved his hand and told Lin Mu to go down and wait for the result!
As soon as he left the stage, Zhang Wei couldn't help giving a bear hug, put his arms around Lin Mu's shoulders, laughed and said, "Wu Mu, you are really invincible, this voice belongs to his grandma, buddy, why did you use it before?" Didn't find it, are you mutated?"

Lin Mu pushed him away with a look of disgust, and said angrily, "Don't rub the oil paint on your face on my clothes, it's not easy to wash!"

Zhang Wei laughed disapprovingly, and said, "When I go back this time, I can say that the gold medal in the old student group of the Mei Lanfang Youth Art Festival is held by my buddies, haha!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from not far away.

"The game is not over yet, don't get complacent so early!"

Zhang Wei seemed like a duck being grabbed by the neck, his laughter disappeared immediately, and he looked back in embarrassment, and it turned out to be Bai Song from the Peking Opera Theater in Beijing!
Bai Song looked at Lin Mu, nodded, and said, "The "Wuben Ji" just now was sung well!"

Lin Mu smiled slightly and said, "Is it up to you next?"

"Not yet, the dressing room is a bit stuffy, come out and take a breath!"

"Okay, then go on, I have to go to the finals of the Tsing Yi group, I hope to see you in the finals!"

Lin Mu greeted Zhang Wei and left here!
Bai Song looked at Lin Mu's back and was speechless for a while!

Tsing Yi team?
I forgot about this guy, it is the first contestant in the history of the Mei Lanfang Youth Art Festival!

On the other stage, Li Zhengsu, Chi Xiaoqiu, Shi Hongyi, Wang Yan and other top performers in the female role industry sat in the judges' seat, and nodded slightly to Zhang Yixia who had finished performing on the stage.

As her master, Chi Xiaoqiu was naturally very satisfied with his apprentice's performance.

"Susu, why did your apprentice come out so late in the queue!"

Chi Xiaoqiu looked through the actor's profile, smiled and said to Li Zhengsu!

Li Zhengsu said indifferently, "Xiao Mu went to participate in the finals of the senior group first, and he has to play again when he comes back. It will take a little longer!"

Chi Xiaoqiu couldn't help smiling, and said, "You and Teacher Yu really spoiled him, haven't you decided which one to let him focus on? Two disciplines, it's not good for his future development!"

What Chi Xiaoqiu said is true. Most actors will never be able to perform one profession to the extreme throughout their lives, let alone learn two.

Li Zhengsu said with a smile, "This kid is very talented, let's have a look!"

Chi Xiaoqiu saw another actor came on stage, so he stopped talking!

Lin Mu directly re-acted in the dressing room just now, and senior sister Bai Wei came to help her with makeup.

The veteran actors around watched Lin Mu change from a ghost to a peerless beauty!
There was a sound of gasping for air one after another.

Although these buddies are old students, but seeing such exquisite costumes, they are also knowledgeable.

"I'll go, this can't be Teacher Li Zhengsu's private outfit!"

"Sure enough, he is a pro-apprentice, he is really willing to spend money!"

"Don't tell me, Lin Mu's appearance is really good!"

"This bit of Cui's reputation will cost hundreds of thousands, at least!"

"Hundreds of thousands, are you kidding, look at the texture, the material, to put it bluntly, at least a million dollars!"

"A youth art festival, as for this?"

"Fortunately, Lin Mu is a man, so he can only act on our side. If those women see this, they won't be crazy!"

"Haha, I'm really curious, what will happen when Lin Mu gets there later!"

"Anyway, I've already finished my performance, and I'll go to study later!"

Lin Mu put on Yu Ji's full outfit, holding a mandarin duck sword in his hand, and came to the waiting area to wait.

In the waiting area, many actresses who were Yingying and Yanyan were chirping and chatting. Suddenly, a burst of bright colors attracted everyone's attention!
Intoxicated!

Lin Mu, who was pretending to be Concubine Yu, really couldn't tell that he was a man at all, and he had no connection with Liu Shichang who was pretending to be a ghost just now!

Many actresses looked at Lin Mu in surprise.

"Who is this person?"

"I haven't seen it!"

"It's actually Yu Ji!"

"There seem to be four or five concubines of concubine Yu today!"

"That's right, Zhang Yixia's concubine Yu should be the most brilliant!"

Just after taking off her makeup, Zhang Yixia, who was wearing a water jacket, came out of the room, and heard a loud voice, she frowned, and when she looked around, her eyes lit up involuntarily.

What a beautiful Yuji!

Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing the goods!

Zhang Yixia's Concubine Concubine's appearance is already beautiful enough, but compared with Lin Mu, it feels like a young lady turned into a maid.

It's not a matter of appearance, but of outfits, so she loses out!
Zhang Yixia's outfit was just borrowed from her master Chi Xiaoqiu.

And "Farewell My Concubine" was not originally a play of the Cheng school, and Chi Xiaoqiu seldom performed this play.

However, Zhang Yixia's favorite is the role of Concubine Yu, so this time, she specially chose this play to perform.

Naturally, Chi Xiaoqiu would not stop his apprentice, instead, he handed her a set of Yu Ji's outfit that he treasured.

However, "Farewell My Concubine" is an opera revised by Mr. Mei Lanfang himself, and it is a proper classic of Mei School.

For this play, Mr. Mei Lanfang specially redesigned all the outfits for Concubine Yu.

The set that Lin Mu got was actually the costume that Mr. Mei Lanfang spent a lot of money on and invited Bai Xiuning, a famous Suzhou embroidery master in the south of the Yangtze River, to sew it for himself.

Mr. Mei Lanfang had to wait for three years for this set of costumes before he received the finished product.

After getting this set of costumes, Mr. Mei Lanfang was overjoyed. He only wore it once when "Farewell My Concubine" was staged for the first time on the first stage of the capital in 1928, and then treasured it up. Extraordinary.

Even in the records back then, there are only a few words about this costume. Some people once suspected that such a costume never existed.

Now, this costume is worn on Lin Mu's body, it can be said to be shining!
Zhang Yixia couldn't help but walked over, looked at Lin Mu carefully, and asked a little not sure, "Are you from the Peking Opera Theater?"

Lin Mu rolled his eyes, revealed a slight smile, and said in his own voice, "Senior Sister Zhang, I haven't seen you for two days, don't you know me?"

As soon as Lin Mu said this, everyone was stunned.

"Lin...Lin Mu?"

Zhang Yixia couldn't help covering her small cherry mouth with her hand, showing an expression of disbelief!
The other young ladies also looked at Lin Mu with strange eyes, and laughed in surprise.

"Lin Mu, get ready to appear!"

A staff member came over and shouted, seeing a "Concubine Yu" walking towards him, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Sister Zhang, I'm going to the competition first, let's talk later!"

After waving at Zhang Yixia, Lin Mu quickly walked to the stage!
Chi Xiaoqiu looked at the information in his hand, and said with a smile, "Susu, your apprentice should come out, I didn't expect it to be "Farewell My Concubine"!"

Li Zhengsu smiled and said, "I didn't expect anything, "Farewell My Concubine" is a classic of our Mei School, I was still wondering, your apprentice Zhang Yixia didn't choose "Suo Lin Nang", but actually chose "Farewell My Concubine" , it was beyond my expectation!"

Chi Xiaoqiu stroked the hair around his ears, and said with a smile, "Yixia, the girl, likes the role of Yu Ji the most. I can't help it, uh..."

Suddenly, Chi Xiaoqiu's voice froze, and his eyes were attracted by the "Concubine Yu" who was walking gracefully on the stage!
Not to mention her, even Li Zhengsu couldn't help but gasp!
Shi Hongyi, who had seen Lin Mu's appearance in the preliminary round, couldn't help but let out a low cry.

The eyes of the other judges were shining brightly.

Lin Mu's outfit was more exciting to them than ordinary women seeing brand-name bags and luxury clothes!

Chi Xiaoqiu couldn't help leaning forward, wanting to take a closer look at Lin Mu's Diancui's head.

Although the costumes are exquisite, the most important thing for women is always the accessories.

"Susu, this set of Dian Cui Tou Noodles is not the one that Lord Jiu left you, right? You are so willing!"

There was a slight jealousy in Chi Xiaoqiu's words, and he looked at Li Zhengsu in disbelief!
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengsu also had beautiful eyes shining brightly, staring closely at the Diancui mask on Lin Mu's head, shook his head, and said, "No, I keep that mask at home all the time, and never wear it out. ah!"

Hearing this, the judges with their ears pricked up all showed shocked expressions.

The Diancui noodles that Lin Mu was carrying were not from Master Jiu's collection. Then, where did Lin Mu get this set of noodles?

Ten of them are all over 40 years old, and some are over [-] years old, but after seeing this hairstyle, there is a kind of little girl who sees her favorite accessories and doesn't even blink her eyes!

Lin Mu also felt the strange eyes of the ten judges in the audience, but he, who was already in the mood, didn't care, and gestured to the band teacher.
